Bali

Bali first emerged onto the tourist scene back in the seventies, when hippies dropped in to indulge in psychedelic trips and frivolous naked bathing. Long before that, a Californian couple setup the first hotel next to Kuta beach in the thirties, which wasn’t much more than a wooden shack, but the few guests that stayed enjoyed the lush surroundings in relative obscurity until the couple shut up shop and moved on.
